A bunch of people questioned MSNBC host Chris Hayes’ white privilege as he put out a call for all New York City schools to postpone going back to the classroom for one week to at least reduce the transmission of and exposure to the Omicron variant. Sure, why not: Leave a ton of parents scrambling to find care for their children at the last minute, as if the virus was going to be gone after a week.
National Educators United has issued an open letter calling for ALL schools nationwide to pause school reopenings for two weeks, citing a scarcity of COVID tests and N95 masks — which are not meant to be worn for seven hours straight by anybody.
Molly Shaw noted that a bunch of right-wing douches had piled on teachers for calling for a two-week pause in in-school learning.

If you’re here to ask “what about this group of workers” my answer is unequivocally yes they should also not work for two weeks

Lol this tweet deserves more nuance but absolutely no one quote tweeting it deserves it

And I’m muting it- have fun with the quote tweets boys!

That’s pretty brave — she’s limited replies to people mentioned in the tweet, which means nobody.
Maybe you should get vaccinated so you don't have to be so scared. https://t.co/mXYx9P00Qf

Putting their lives at risk to be around the literal lowest risk group

The people that work at grocery stores, restaurants, etc. are at more risk for exposure than a teacher. Teachers need to teach in-person. Period.#KeepSchoolsOpen https://t.co/H68N690cFa

Teachers need to get their asses back to work or find another job. Enough, many of us have been working throughout the pandemic, yet teachers think they are at risk when working the lowest risk, kids. Enough! https://t.co/GFLnAPpU7z

It's simple, get back to work or find another job. Kids are the least likely to get or transmit the virus to others, yet far too many paranoid adults treat them like super spreaders. Your life is at minimum risk and your life is always at some risk, life comes with that. https://t.co/GFLnAPpU7z

So like, how are teachers like putting their lives at risk.

If teachers are risking their lives to teach, we should keep them safe and just abolish public education. 😏 https://t.co/IrpM55N3wK

COVID ain't the plague, Molly. My son's school district was open all last year(except for the first 3 weeks) and the entire first semester this year(with no more mask mandate) and there have been no issues. https://t.co/wlXCkJlP4c

She does have a little hammer and sickle icon in her Twitter bio.
Let's bring some, oh, science into this. If you're vaccinated, you practice hand hygiene, and wear a mask…you are literally in no danger from COVID exposure from students.
How do I know this? Oh…almost 2 years of EMS.
Stop the hysteria. https://t.co/061NPgVxQQ— New Year, Same Tabby (@robo_tabby) January 1, 2022
I think the risk is actually far too low, they should be thinking twice about working in this field as penance for what they've done to kids the past two years https://t.co/IexEITh6fn

Nobody's risking their lives to teach. Typical hysterics. They're rightly attacking teachers because they haven't been doing their jobs since 2019, some would say since 1969. https://t.co/krqNvwq2Dn

That was always the teachers’ unions’ argument when it was demonstrated that kids are at least risk to each other — but what if they carry the virus and spread it to the teacher. That is what had teachers writing their own obituaries a year ago.
